Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() In the hall at the bottom of the tower, Maca is surrounded by a group of elves, sitting at a round table that is not too big, drinking sweet spring water, and eating shortbread baked by the elves , I feel pretty good.

It can be seen from these elves with strong autonomy that their race is naturally fond of work, which has a subtle similarity with modern house elves.

In ancient times, the elves had many types of good or evil according to different blood branches.The ancestors of the house elves were often called "brown elves" in Scotland and other places because they often wore a set of torn brown clothes.

Unlike most other branches of the same race who are quite naughty and like pranks, the brown elves prefer to observe human behavior.And they will get along with people who are friendly to them.

If they can feel kindness from you, they might help you with housework, repair the house or something.At the same time, the curious ones will always take advantage of more contact opportunities to secretly stare at you.

However, the brown elves don't like remuneration.

If you want to give them something in return because you are grateful for their help, they will immediately think that it is an insult to them and leave your home forever.If something is more serious, you might even start to make trouble in your daily life.

It can be seen that the reason why house elves have formed such a strange personality traits is probably related to this point.

While enjoying this somewhat leisurely afternoon tea comfortably, Maca also pushed the topic forward little by little, intentionally or unconsciously.

Luck, the elder elf, felt very stable for him. As far as Maca understood them, he knew that this stability was not easy for an elf.

It was only thanks to this stability that he was able to speak the ancient language that was not very fluent, and the dialogue went on smoothly.

From Rack's mouth, Maca learned about their ancestors of these little elves, and their connection with Rowena Ravenclaw.

In fact, their ancestors had lived on this island for a long time before Roina found this island in the center of the Mediterranean.

It is said that there were still two ancient sorcerer households on the island at that time. Their ancestors often helped these two small families with their own temperaments, and occasionally got some milk from the kitchens of those two families. drink.

Later, the descendants of the two wizard families gradually stopped coming back, the older generation of wizards also passed away, and the ancestors of the elves were alone again.

Until one day, a young girl appeared on this island and used magic to build a small house.That rather rudimentary hut is the original appearance of the wizard tower.

The elves didn't care where the girl came from, and the girls didn't care that she had such a group of noisy neighbors.A delicate balance has slowly formed between these two different races.

Since then, life has become ordinary and leisurely again.

At that time, the wizards had not yet established a highly comprehensive magic school like the present one. Regarding the inheritance of magic, parents taught their children or invited other wizards to become apprentices.

Rowena, who is still a young girl, did not know where he obtained the inheritance of wizards. The little elves only knew that he often hid in the house, studying various magics by himself until...

"...Later, a young human man encountered wind and waves at sea, holding a wooden board and being pushed onto the beach by the waves."

Hearing what Old Luck said, Maca remembered the old notes he found on the desk in a certain room when he came here last time.

Behind the daily notes used to record the experiments of magical creatures, I also wrote many essays about everyday life.He remembered that from a certain day, there was one more name in the above essay, and the more it was mentioned later.

"That young man is called'Eun'?"

Maca pulled out the notebook from her waist and quickly found the name.

"Ah! Yes..." Old Luck said softly, "My grandma once told me that story. Human love is very beautiful."

He paused, but then recalled: "Well...remember to be called... Eun Ravenclaw?"

"Sure enough, the last name is Ravenclaw?" Maca murmured.

According to records, Rowena Ravenclaw has never been married in her life, but she has a girl named Helena of the same surname as Ravenclaw.Because of this, many scholars have speculated that Rowena may have had a short marriage long ago and it is unknown.

Right now, Maca accidentally confirmed this long-lived conjecture...Although it seemed to be of little use.

"That man is a helmsman for a long voyage. Roy Na Mi La is very interested in sailing at sea, and then the two of them went out to sea together..." Old Luck said leisurely, "Until many years later, Roy Na Mi La I just came back alone and took a lot of things away..."

Luck the elf tells the story of the year one after another, while Maca is thinking about the origin of Rowena.

For Maca, it is obviously necessary to know Rowena's life.It's just that time has passed so long, it's never easy to figure it out.

Although he had some speculations in his heart, it was quite difficult to prove it.After thinking about it, Maca turned his attention back to the conversation with the elf Luck.

Before long, the topic gradually touched the subject of his trip.

"...A fellow from the outside world?" The elder elf frowned slightly, "It would be like this, which surprised Lak... However, I wait for each ethnic group and even each individual to be independent. This comes from the rules of the ancestors and cannot be broken casually."

At this point, he gently shook his head.

"Although I feel very sympathetic to the experience of the outsiders, since the choice was made because of defeat, the agreement is the agreement. The elves never break the agreement unilaterally."

"...Perhaps it was not an agreement, but just forced?" Maca curiously asked, "Why are you so sure?"

If Luck reacted fiercely to the living conditions of his fellow clan outside, he would not let the word "force" appear here, and it would not do any good for the purpose of his trip.

But now, the elf Luck did not express any indignation at the miserable experience of his family, which made Maca have to revise the original plan.

"I wait for the little elves, no matter which branch, they are loyal to the agreement." Old Luck's old voice seemed quite serious at this time, "If I am not willing to make an agreement, it is useless to force it. I would rather wait. Return the soul to nature, and will not suffer humiliation under any coercion."

"Old Ruck didn't know exactly what the war was like, but Old Ruck is sure that there must be a clear agreement in the end."

Judging from the statement of the little elf Luck, there may be other more complicated reasons behind the ancient war that was rarely recorded.

"...Agreement...?" Maca frowned, "Then what do you think was the agreement formed at the end of that ancient war?"

"The old Ruck doesn't know it," the elven elf shook his head slightly, and said slowly, "but in this world, there must be at least one compatriot who still retains the original agreement."

The expression on his wrinkled face was sincere and natural, and his long, big ears flicked slightly, seeming to be praying for a belief that Maca could not understand.

"...Unlike you humans, we and the elf clan engraved the'promise' in the soul." Luck said seriously, "every unfinished agreement will be passed on from generation to generation in the blood of the setter Until the day when the agreement is completed."

"Then...what did you make the agreement for?"

As soon as Maca's question was asked, Old Rack looked at him in confusion.

"'For what?" He seemed to be unable to understand what Maca was saying, strangely, "Is it necessary to have a corresponding reason to make an agreement?"

Okay!It turns out that you can make an agreement with someone without even needing a reason?With this huge difference in basic concepts, Maca didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"Oh, maybe there is something wrong with my statement -" Maca turned around, "I mean, under what circumstances will you make an agreement with someone?"

"It doesn't matter," Old Lacker said naturally. "As long as we want to make an agreement, whatever happens."

"Uh..." Maca blinked and suddenly said, "Then, I—"

"I won't make an agreement with you," Old Luck interrupted Maca's words instantly, and calmly said amidst his surprised expression, "Because I am on you, and I feel that I want to take advantage of me. intention."

"what?"

Macka immediately raised his brows and blinked depressedly.

He really wanted to take advantage of the situation to put forward a so-called "agreement without a reason" to test it out, but he never thought that before he could say it, he was extremely decisively rejected by the other party.

"I haven't heard that the elves still have this kind of talent?" Maca secretly asked, "I thought they were a bit stupid, but it seems that they still have enough capital to support them."

Of course he was very aware of his Occupational Cerebral Skill, and he was basically safe from being peeped into his heart among wizards.But the elf in front of him could still feel his thoughts.

Even though it was mostly an unclear talent for sensing, it was enough to surprise Maca.

"Okay!" Maca, who had eaten a small loss for no reason, shrugged and said, "If so, then forget it... Even if we don't make an agreement, we can still be friends!"

If nothing was done, another idea suddenly emerged in his heart.
